Shredded Beef Taquitos are great for when you have leftover roast from Sunday dinner (or any roast dinner for that matter). If you aren’t using leftovers and are making it the way as directed below be prepared for lots of taquitos! This is also a great freezer meal/snack. They freeze well and you can just pop them in the oven or microwave for something quick to eat.
Shredded Beef Taquitos
Ingredients (with Amazon Links)
- 1-2 Lbs. lean roast beef
- 1 pkg. onion soup mix
- 1 c. water
- a few shakes of hot sauce Tabasco etc..
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Corn tortillas at least 30
- Oil
Instructions
- Sear beef on all sides and put in crock-pot with onion soup mix, water, and hot sauce. Heat on low for 8-10 hours. Remove beef from crock-pot and shred. Soften corn tortillas in oil and let drain on paper towels. Add a little cheese and beef to each tortilla and roll up (remember to add cheese first, THEN beef.. that way the cheese won't melt out). Place taquitos seam-side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 400-degrees for 6-8 minutes. Turn taquitos once and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until taquitos are nice, golden brown, and slightly crispy (you could also deep fry them if you'd rather). Serve with sour cream, salsa and/or guacamole.

I want to make these and freeze them. could you please explain that process to me.
I'm wanting to know at what step should I freeze them? how long I should cook them in the oven and at what temp from a frozen state?
thank you so much

I just made these today. I didn’t have any roast so I used ground beef and they were delicious.
Echo says
Thank you for letting us know! We are all for improvising with what you have in your fridge!
Candy says
These look so good. Going to make them this weekend. Can they be frozen? What step would you freeze them at?
Erica says
I freeze them AFTER baking. That way they are crisp already when you thaw them– and they are easier to microwave 🙂
Elizabeth says
My corn tortillas keep breaking and opening. How should I get them to roll tighter and not break?
Emily says
Try warming them up before rolling them, you can warm them in a pan or in the microwave for just a little bit.
Elizabeth says
That worked, thank you so much!
Jacqueline says
This looks wonderful. My husband and three girls love taquitos.
I have a question, I looked but probably missed it. Roughly how many does this serve? Nothing exact needed, I just need to know if I need to double it for my family of six =)
Thank you in advance
Erica says
Typically it serves 4-6. If you are using all 30 shells each person would get 5 taquitos. It also depends on how full you stuff them. If I were you I would do 1 1/2 and then freeze any leftovers (they re-heat great)!
Tina says
If I’m in a little time crunch and cook the meat on high, how long would I need to cook it for?
Erica says
You can do the meat for 4 hours and it should be good. 🙂
Shayla says
Can the roast be done in the instant pot?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Absolutely! It would work out great!
